Chapter 103: The sons of the Pei family
That night, the Xiongnu scouts reported that Dong Bai, Tong Yuan and others in Xiliang had annihilated most of the Baibo army, Han Xian left the Hedong Plain and entered the Wangwushan area, and Yu Fuluo also gave up Pingyang, Yangxian and other places, and entered the mountains to avoid the edge.
The most important thing is that the trade route between the Pei family, the Wei family and their own side was not only not cut off, but was recognized and supported by the Xiliang army.
The kings of the Xiongnu were overjoyed and praised the filial piety of Weiyang Jun and the benevolence and righteousness of Pingbei General.
They also gave Geng Qing and his party three carts of gifts, and sent 500 cavalry pro-Xiliang to escort them to Xihe Port.
Ten days later, Geng Qing and his entourage arrived in Hedong and directly joined Tong Yuan and others.
Tong Yuan was overjoyed when he learned the news that Geng Qing had brought back, he was only eighteen years old, and he was still too young after all, and he was a little unbreathable. Of course, any young person who has achieved such an achievement through hard work will be overjoyed, not to mention that he has only traveled half a year.
At this time, Xu Rong was beside Tong Yuan, and he was also happy from the bottom of his heart for his progress and achievements, but he had rich experience and reminded: "General, don't be happy too early, these people will turn their faces quickly, and they may become enemies in the future."
Tong Yuan woke up at this time, and after thinking about it carefully, he was now entering Hedong, and according to the basis of the discussion with Jia Xu, it was best not to contact Yuan Shao directly.
In this case, after getting the Baibo army, it was necessary to deal with Yufuluo, and then whether it was Xihe County to the north of the east of the Yellow River, or north of Xiayang, that is, northern Shaanxi in the future, they were all in the sphere of influence of the Xiongnu royal court.
The Xinxi Liang army wants to defend and annex the state, and the recovery of Hetao will definitely attack the Xiongnu royal court, and it seems that the time for peace will be relatively limited.
Geng Qing said again: "Yes, the Hun Right Valley Liwang and a few others are very hostile to us, and it is estimated that he is closer to Lu Bu's department. That LΓΌ Bu may then go to Hanoi's Zhang Yang's side. β
Xu Rong frowned, and said to Tong Yuan: "It is not an exaggeration for Lu Bu and Zhang Yang to say that they are friends of life and death, I don't know if it will be a threat to us."
Tong Yuan suddenly remembered something, in history, after Lu Bu was defeated in Chang'an, he first fled to Yuan Shu, and then came to Zhang Yang and Yuan Shao, and then gave Cao Cao a knife in the back with Zhang Miao and Chen Gong.
He had no way of knowing how much his previous actions had disturbed history, but looking at the current trend, Lu Bu would soon return to the track of history.
He said without hesitation: "He should not dare to come to his death, if he can stir up the situation to the east, it will be good for us." This year, we will first focus on getting the Fuluo Department, stabilizing the Hedong region, and increasing the production here, so that we will have the initiative in this area next year. β
If it weren't for Hu Lang'er, Huang Yu and others who had followed him for a long time, I am afraid they would be surprised to focus on resuming production, after all, most military people still want to get rich by looting.
Xu Rong had a strange look, Tong Yuan was so young that he could have such an understanding, so many years of fighting made him deeply realize how important it was to have sufficient supplies and give the soldiers a chance to rest.
Dong Bai promised to guarantee their basic interests after meeting the Pei family, the Wei family and other representative figures, and then handed it over to Tong Yuan to deal with the matter of the post.
Tong Yuan is also a newcomer, in order to unite the local scholars, he first through Wei Qi and others, he gathered the scholars in the county who supported him to communicate about the follow-up development.
Although Wei Qi doesn't like Xiliangjun and Haoqiang and others, he knows that if he can't adapt and protect or expand his own interests in this troubled world, he is afraid that he will be abandoned by the trend of the times.
Previously, Hedong Mingmen was able to reach cooperation with Li Dao, Bai Bojun, Southern Xiongnu, etc., which was the choice of these companies to examine and seize the degree.
Wei Qi also brought Wei Gu of the same clan, I saw that Wei Gu was more than thirty years old, his face was slightly fat, his demeanor was mediocre, and his eyes were small but he stared at others, looking overconfident.
Wei Gu gives people the feeling that Wei Gu is completely opposite to Wei Qian's unreserved and humble attitude. Tong Yuan was reluctant to talk to him more, and Wei Qi stopped him directly out of the inconvenience of rights and interests in the family.
The most shrewd is the Pei family. At present, the head of the family, Pei Mao, holds the important position of Shang Shuling in the court, although they are quite close and familiar with the Taiyuan Wang Yun family, but they do not fully support Wang Yun and are destroyed together.
Pei Qian, the son of the Pei family, went to Jingzhou with many famous children.
Judging from the current situation, Jingzhou has no trend of large-scale chaos for the time being, and is relatively wealthy, unlike the barren and remote Jiangdong. If the worst happens in Hedong, the Pei family can still gain a foothold in Jingzhou.
Historically, he later became Cao Cao's subordinate when Cao Cao took Jingzhou, and governed the northern Daijun and other areas where the Han and Hu contradictions intensified, and achieved very successful achievements and became a major minister of Cao Wei. And because he is very famous in Jingzhou, he left his evaluation of Liu Biao and Liu Bei respectively in the annals of history.
When he was in Jingzhou, he was treated well by Liu Biao, but he said to his friends Wang Wei and Sima Zhi: "Liu Mu is not a talent of the king, but wants Xibo to deal with himself, and his defeat will not be lost."
Faced with the situation in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, as well as Cao Cao and others, Liu Biao wanted to become the Xibohou and Zhou Wen Wang Ji Chang that year, but his son was not exaggerated compared to Bo Yi Kao, Ji Fa, Zhou Gong, etc., and it was not an exaggeration to evaluate the difference between Yun Ni.
Cao Cao asked him what Liu Bei's talent was, and he said: "If you live in China, you can mess with people but can't rule them." If you take the risk, it is enough to be the master of one party. β
And after Liu Bei entered Sichuan and Shu, he did not govern as expected. For example, internal regional factional struggles continued, with the division of land and property to favor the generals of the lineage, and the imposition of strict laws on the local nobles and the suppression of some important people who raised objections.
This method is indeed a short-term way to fight a war, but it is not conducive to the development of local governance.
I have to say that Pei Qian's judgment is accurate, and he is indeed the best among the scholars.
Pei Jun, the second son of the Pei family, is the first to be written. When he was a teenager, he personally sent his brother-in-law, who served as the chief historian of Shuzhong, to take up his post.
In the second year of the first peace (191 A.D.), that is, last year. Zhang Lu killed the imperial envoy at the behest of Liu Yan, the pastor of Yizhou, and blocked the road to create a situation of secession of Shu. Pei Jun has been trapped in Shu and cannot be returned, and later became an important minister of Shu Han in history.
Pei Mao's third son Pei Zheng and fourth son Pei Ji, who stayed in Hedong, are currently presiding over affairs at home, and have met Tong Yuan and others successively, but they are not very enthusiastic. Historically, both of them were important ministers of Cao Wei, and they had a good reputation among scholars, and they were important figures in the Pei family.
This ingenious arrangement is actually to consider the revival of the Han court, the rise of Xiliang to control the government, or the emergence of Gaozu and Guangwu in Jingzhou and Sichuan.
In short, no matter how the situation develops, the Pei family will win and not lose.
